In this brief video segment, Paul H. Flowers Jr. highlights the hidden financial burden of workplace back pain on U.S. employers. He cites a national cost of $635 billion per year and translates that to roughly $127,000 lost annually for a typical 100‑person company due to absenteeism. Flowers argues that without measuring the problem, it cannot be addressed, and urges employers to track back‑pain related losses and invest in prevention, which he frames as a cheaper alternative to the ongoing “bleed.”
